001Good evening. Today is Wednesday, August 27th, 2025. This is the special meeting of the board of education of the Taco Union School District. Can I have a motion to call the meeting to second? All in favor? Okay. First order of business, the pledge of >> allegiance. Um, tonight we have some very quick business. Um, we have personnel recommendations. Um, resolve the board of education at the Toko Unifree School District approve personnel recommendation A through F. Do I have a motion? Second. Le any comments? special education reading teacher specialist. >> Anything else? All in favor? Okay, next up, approval of a consultant. resolved that the board of education of the Tuco Union Free School District approve a consultant agreement with custom cheer coro to provide full choreography for for J for junior varsity excuse me it
002was written incorrectly for junior varsity cheerleading to take place during the during practice on September 7th 2025 at an amount not to exceed $3,500. Can I have a motion? second. Any discussion? Um, all in favor? Anybody opposed? Um so I will give a little bit of explanation as to my vote. Um the reason that I voted no is because I do feel that no other junior varsity team um has two coaches. All junior varsity teams only have one coach. Um and they are many of them have a lot of players on them. Um and so I just felt like it was inequitable to just give one support um a little bit extra and so um that was the reason why I was not in favor of it. However, it is the board's decision. We did
003approve it. It will go through and um hope the girls enjoy it. So I'll make you do that as well because I voted as well. Um similar line of thought to Allison just thinking a little bit further being familiar with the for having um that my daughter and all of this um it's my belief and my firm understanding that really the reason for this is uh to prepare the GB team to go to nationals tournament which I'm very much in support of our junior is participating in national a great experience I think it's awesome that we're now doing it again fired up again a couple years ago It is not a section one event. It's nice that they do it, but it's been done and it should be done for fundraising and external funding. Um
004I believe that the reason why this is being requested is to is to prepare for that tournament, not section one competition. Um and I don't think that's funded. I think we're spending collectively now this year we already approved with the pornography for the varsity team which you can argue shouldn't be done either but I'm okay with that and with the sensing it's a lot of money spent on one sport I know sports cost the same in terms of the same output but I think at this point I think inequitable amount of money being spent for one I think it's really being driven mostly being driven through the coaches really being driven by the aim of national tournament down in Florida which again I'm happy our girls participated in I think it's a great tournament but
005it's not something takes and Jach pass or it did pass. I wish it well. Hope this year. >> Okay, that's it for the business portion of our meeting. Um, we are now going to adjourn the meeting and go to our board, our annual board retreat. I have a motion to adjourn the meeting. All in favor? Have a good night everybody.
